Electrical connector with pin retention feature

ABSTRACT

An electrical connector comprising a header (10) with a plurality of terminal pins (12) having means for retaining the header in position during soldering to a printed circuit board. Retention is accomplished by an offset formed as a crimp at the insertion end of at least one pair of the pins (12A, 12B). The crimps exert opposite normal forces against one surface of their respective holes to retain the header during soldering.
